Devourer Demon Hunter PvP Talents and Builds — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0)

This build is built around Reap, Hungering Slash, and The Hunt. As of now, Collapsing Star is NOT viable due to numerous bugged interactions.

While the above table provides a generally accurate overview of the viability of talents, some finer points are discussed in the sections that follow, and we recommend you read those for a deeper understanding.

Some important spells to note in the Demon Hunter talent tree:

• Demonic Resilience was added in Midnight and now grants an additional charge of Blur.
• Void Nova works similarly to Chaos Nova but it can be used on any target within 30 yards and stunning all targets near them.
• Sigil of Misery allows you to place on the ground and will fear all enemies inside of it after 1 second. This is a great follow-up after a stun or Imprison is on the enemy healer.

Some important spells to note in the Devourer Demon Hunter Talent tree:

• Hungering Slash is procced after you use Voidblade or The Hunt.
• Void Metamorphosis is a passive that can only be activated once you have collected 50 souls or 35 souls with Soul Glutton.
• The Hunt is part of the spec tree. The Hunt is important as it is the only way you can activate Hungering Slash outside of Voidblade.

Glimpse makes you immune to crowd control and reduces the damage you take until you land when casting Vengeful Retreat. This is a great way to avoid incoming damage when you are the primary focus for the enemy team.

Beckon causes Reap to make your next Consume instant cast while also generating an additional soul.

Armor of Souls technically gives you some additional armor, but with how much magic damage exists in the game, that part of the talent ends up having fairly limited value. What actually makes this talent so strong is the 12% chance it has to trigger every time you take damage.

Detainment increases the duration of your Imprison, and that target is immune to damage and healing while it is active. This is great for crowd control on the enemy healer but also be used to peel. You can use Imprison on the enemy's cooldowns to stop the go.

Inevitable End should only be taken if you talent into Collapsing Star. While Collapsing Star is generally not recommended, this talent makes it uninterruptible and increases its damage, making it the better choice over Beckon.
